Human beings have a greatly more knowledge than out ancestors, but not more intelegence. Kenneth Larson We can learn from everyone, even our adversaries. |

In 1998 a child was born. This child was the smartest person ever to live. This child was destined to answer all the questions, to solve all the problems. Unfortunately, she died at age 19 days from mal-nutrition in the impoverished, war torn land of her birth. Another similar child will be born soon. We don't know who he or she will be. Let's not make the same mistake. |

We walk forward. We ride a bicycle forward. We drive forward. We do this to see where we are going, not where we've been. Put your past behind you and move forward. Ken Larson |

"I lost two dollars at the race track one time, and I spend about three million getting it back." Micky Rooney "Everything in life is insane and there is nothing you can do about it." Gary Green It's never too late to start over. Problems are not stop signs, they are guideposts. Guns don't kill. People with guns kill. |

For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost - And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. Benjamin Franklin |

* Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. * When you lose, don't lose the lesson. * Follow the three R's: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions. * Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. * Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. * Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. * When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. * Spend some time alone every day. * Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. * Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. * Live a good, honorable life. Then, when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. * A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. * In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. * Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. * Be gentle with the earth. * Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. * Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. * Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. * Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. |
